Motherboard Without Cpu Fan Connector

This connector is specifically designed to link to the cpu cooling fan.

Motherboard without cpu fan connector.

You can connect a 3 pin fan to a 3 pin or 4 pin header on the motherboard. The fan connector will have two guides 1 and these will need to line up with the tab 2 that is on the motherboard fan header. Chassis and cpu fans may use either 3 pin or 4 pin power connectors. Installing a 3 pin fan to the motherboard.

Chassis and cpu fans may use either 3 pin or 4 pin power connectors. The green arrows below show the little triangles that match up. Please like share and subscribe thanks. The system bios monitors cpu cooling fan speeds.

4 pin connectors are usually used by cpu fans with higher power consumption. The connectors used for computer fans such as the one pictured are 3 pin molex kk 2 54mm pitch or compatible. And if the fan isn t connected to this header you may get. 4 pin connectors are usually used by cpu fans with higher power consumption.

There are a few ways to access the cpu fan settings but these are the best. Fans and on board fan headers are backwards compatible.
